21:12 UTC - Weak readable with some fading and noise and jazz music;
21:23 UTC - Station ID: "This is Ion Radio"
21:50 UTC - Now weak unreadable and what I believe is Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon playing;
22:20 UTC - Station ID and end of broadcast.

Thank you for the program.

S5 to S7 on the loop skywire @ 2112 with mellow jazz guitar (Shazam says it is Larry Carlton and Peter Frampton).  Just a carrier on the Wellbrook loop.
2118 - fairly steady S7 now, nice signal!@ION
